Let's talk about what the sports picks industry actually charges. A quick search for "NCAAB picks" or "college basketball expert predictions" will land you on sites asking for $50 to $300 per month. Some of them charge per pick. Five dollars for a single game prediction. Ten dollars for a "premium lock." The math gets ugly fast.

During March Madness, these prices spike. A "tournament package" from a top tout service runs $99 to $199. For two and a half weeks of games. And they still get picks wrong — because everyone gets picks wrong sometimes. The difference is they charge you a fortune for the privilege.

Why We Charge 99 Cents (And Always Will)

The economics are simple. Traditional pick services employ analysts, producers, and sales teams. They rent studio space. They run expensive ad campaigns. All of that overhead gets passed to you in the form of high monthly fees.

We built an AI. It runs on servers that cost a fraction of one analyst's salary. It does not need a lunch break. It does not have an ego. It processes data, generates predictions, and delivers them to your screen. The entire operation is automated, which means the cost to serve one more user is essentially zero.

So we charge 99 cents. One-time. Lifetime access. Because why would we charge more when the cost to deliver the product is almost nothing?

The Math That Should Make You Angry

Here is a comparison that puts it in perspective:

Typical tout service: $50/month for NCAAB picks. That is $600 per year. Over three years, you have spent $1,800 on predictions that hit at roughly the same rate as a well-built model.
NCAAB Picks: $0.99, one time. Lifetime access. The AI keeps learning, the predictions keep coming, and your wallet stays intact.
All of our sports apps: 99¢ each. NFL, NHL, tennis, and college basketball. Lifetime access to every sport for less than one month of one competitor's cheapest plan.

No Cherry-Picking: Every Pick Is Shown

One thing that drives us crazy about the picks industry: selective transparency. Tout services love to advertise their hot streaks. "12-3 last week!" But they conveniently forget to mention the 4-9 stretch the week before that.

Every prediction NCAAB Picks makes is logged and displayed. Wins and losses. Good weeks and bad weeks. You can see the full track record, not a curated highlight reel. If the model goes 3-5 on a Tuesday, that is right there on the results page. No hiding. No excuses.

Transparency is not a marketing gimmick for us. It is the product. If you can see every pick and every outcome, you can make your own informed decisions about how to use the predictions.
